STILETTI-ANA — Golden Music

Stiletti-Ana returns to Studio Barnhus with wandering melodies, nimble rhythms, and a healthy disregard for straight lines. A fixture of Helsinki's underground, Finnish producer, drummer and engineer Ilari Larjosto counts bands like Jesse and Tähtiportti among his many musical adventures.Drawing on material developed for a handful of live appearances, Larjosto revisited those tracks over the holidays, adding generous layers of percussion. The resulting EP has the easy confidence of music given room to find its own way: detailed, playful and quietly persuasive."R U Making It" draws us in with a hypnotic electro arrangement and vocoder stylings, while "Proof the Music" sinks into deep 808 kicks and enveloping atmospheres. "Golden Music" spins a delicate tangle of melody over understated drums, before "Suntitled" skips into the sunshine, with something slightly more sinister lurking behind its smile.
